Gastric ulcers are a common complaint affecting both pleasure, sports and race horses and ponies. Clinical signs can be very variable ranging from dislike of tightening the girth, teeth grinding, dull coat, lack of condition to poor performance and mild-moderate colic. The only way to definitively diagnose gastric ulcers is to pass a video endoscope into the stomach under-standing sedation. The procedure is tolerated very well and takes around 15-20 minutes. If you horse has ulcers then we can advise on the best treatment plans.
On 18th and 19th September 2020, we are running a gastroscopy clinic at Sussex Equine Hospital. For horses booked in on these days only gastroscopy will be half price costing £135 including VAT and routine sedation.
If ulcers are diagnosed treatment would incur additional costs.
To book your horse in please call the clinic on 01903 883050 spaces are limited and you must already be registered as a client of Sussex Equine Hospital.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind our clients that we cannot send invoices to your insurance company automatically. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of claims we submit, we are unable to check records for unclaimed treatment.
We will include all visits billed on our system at the time of submitting your claim form. After this, we do request that you contact our office upon receipt of any further insurance related invoices.
Some Insurance policies do require a continuation form with each invoice submitted. In this instance, please send the claim form into us as soon as possible. If you are unsure, please check with your insurance company.
We recommend that you keep in contact with your insurance company on a regular basis, so you are aware of their progress with your claim. We are unable to chase them on your behalf; it must be the policy holder.
If you have any questions regarding your insurance claim, please do not hesitate to contact our accounts department on 01903 882 384.
